- Sat Nov 17, 2007 10:17 pm #30344 its like 8 bolts. 2 on each side when you open the door under that little cover. the middle vent near the windshield there is a bolt under that. take the shroud under the steering wheel off and there is one or 2 there. and one under the glovebox i think thats it. not 100% :thumb:

This is what I used. You can just use a screw driver to punch out the two fasteners for the vin tag. I swapped the tags and it looks perfect.

you have to drill out the revit from the vin and then use a chisel to hit it out. i think they sell black revit at car paint store (ppg).dont get the chrome looking one cop will know. good luck
